In August, I received an inquiry from Japanese customer Tom in alibaba international station.Tom has five different suppliers who need warehouse service and then ship from shenzhen China to Naha port Japan.The goods are mostly bathroom products, such as water heaters, hot buckets, construction materials and accessories.Tom only provides the contact information of the supplier and the general cargo data, and I will provide Tom with the appropriate transportation plan and good price and service based on these information.
Tom only 7 CBM of goods, but he landed on the Naha port is a relatively remote port, I compared the cost of shipping from shenzhen to Naha of FCL and LCL , decided to give Tom for 20ft container from shenzhen to Naha, because shipping LCL freight will be more expensive. Tom compared the prices of several freight forwarders and still found my price more advantageous
Tom has five different suppliers from different places.I need to collect them into the same warehouse and put them into the 20ft container for shipping to Naha port.I contacted the supplier to arrange delivery according to the contact information provided by Tom, and according to the location of the supplier and the good time of the goods.For example, I put the less goods in the office of the company first, and then send them to the warehouse for internal loading. This can avoid the storage time is too long and the cost of warehouse rental, which not only saves the cost for the customer, but also saves the time for picking up the goods.Received a goods from foshan supplier, the goods are fragile products, the packaging is solid wood frame, no fumigation.The export of this package must be fumigated and inspected, otherwise it cannot be cleared at naha port.I have communicated with the supplier, and she packaged it like this according to the customer's requirements.Then I contacted Tom to tell him about this problem, and then suggested that he remove the solid wood shelf and package it with pallets, which cost less than the fumigation commodity inspection cost, and is also as safe as the wooden shelf.The total amount of the customer's goods is 7CBM, but a 20ft container can hold 28cbm of goods in total. Therefore, it is necessary to reinforce the goods in the container to ensure the safety of the goods in transit.Our warehouse has a lot of experience in this field and is very good at reinforcing the goods.
I integrated the five suppliers' packing list invoices into one, helped the customer to purchase export declaration materials to ensure the normal export declaration of the customer's goods, and handled the certificate of origin of the goods to assist the customer in customs clearance.Finally, the goods will be transported smoothly to Naha port。
